Recommended combination
Product description
Bevors like this emerged in the second half of the 15th century. They protected the vulnerable neck and were typically worn with a sallet, kettle hat, or, in the early 16th century, a burgonet.
The sallet–bevor combination is the most common. Configure both pieces in various ways:
-
Sallet half over the head – optimal field of vision.
-
Sallet half over the head with the bevor closed – optimal field of vision with added facial protection.
-
Sallet flat on the head with the visor open – optimal field of vision, useful for issuing commands during battle.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor open and bevor closed – slightly more visibility than with the visor fully closed.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor closed – maximum protection for the head and face.
Gothic armor was very popular among 15th-century knights in Central Europe. Its sharp forms and intricate fluted decorations give it a highly elegant, almost fantastical appearance.
Built from 1.6 mm steel, this bevor is suited for reenactment combat. Its articulated construction lets you wear it with the visor raised or lowered, depending on the situation.
